This course will introduce students to the art of Jewellery making and provide a strong foundation of skills within the craft.  Techniques and process include soldering, hand tools, enameling, cuttlefish casting, stone setting, lost wax casting, resin casting, wirework and more.  Typical projects include necklaces, bracelets, pendants, rings and earrings.  No experience is necessary.

This course is an introduction to safe operations of metalworking hand tools and power machinery. Additionally, the big idea is for students to understand the building/manufacturing process that yields a final product.  The areas covered will be hand tools, lathe, various welding processes and basic jewelry work.  Students will be given specific projects to complete in each area in order to develop basic skills.  Students may have the opportunity to design and fabricate their own projects.

This course is an introduction to safe operation of metalworking hand tools and power machinery. Upon project completion, students will be tasked with reflective thinking of the building process and areas of potential improvement. The ability to not only produce, but communicate ideas, processes, and specific terminology will be tasked to students. Like Metal 9, it is an introduction course, but the pace will be more challenging and suitable for grade 10’s.

A main focus will be the refinement of a wide range of metalworking skills. While increasing skill-set, this will allow students to attempt class projects and potentially personal projects. The class will explore related career pathways, as well as the environmental and social impact in the metalworking industry. 

Although no experience with previous metalworking courses is required, it is recommended. This course will be made up of more challenging projects, thus requiring challenging machining and fabrication processes. Students may potentially pursue personal project through the processes of ideation and prototyping.

This course will introduce students to basic hand tools and machinery found in a woodworking shop. Students will be challenged to develop an understanding of how the sequencing of hand tools and machinery allow for final products to be manufactured. After learning basic safety, basic joinery techniques, reading and creating drawings, design, and measurement, students may have the opportunity to pursue a personal project.  Ethical and sustainably consideration will all designs/projects will be discussed in the course. This is great introduction to advanced woodworking in the senior grades.

Woodwork 10 will challenge students to build various projects, one of which being a piece of modern furniture with joinery construction. The design process will be integrated in the course, which will be driven by the users needs and interests. Students will be challenged to not only use tools and machinery, but set them up for proper usage as well.

No previous experience is necessary. This course involves the study of aesthetic values, design considerations and training in skills related to the art of fine furniture design and construction.  The course is also designed to give the beginning and novice woodworker experience in using power woodworking tools to produce well crafted and designed wooden products.

No woodworking experience is necessary, but it is recommended. Students will learn to adapt tools and machinery for specific purposes. These techniques will be used to accomplish class and potentially personal projects. Defining, ideating, prototyping and testing methods will be used towards completion of challenging projects.
